RANCHO EL PETACAL<br />

Jalisco, Mexico<br />

Rancho El Petacal, located in southwestern<br />

Mexico, has the ideal growing climate with plenty<br />

of sunshine and rainfall – the perfect conditions<br />

for growing nutrient-rich plants for existing<br />

<strong>NUTRILITE</strong> ® products, and for growing test<br />

plots for research.<br />

Located on 1,400 acres, which are all certified<br />

100% organic, the farm is a major source of<br />

jobs for the small community of El Petacal. Our<br />

commitment to sustainability goes beyond the<br />

fields of El Petacal. Reforestation programs<br />

have helped increase biodiversity and maintain<br />

the natural equilibrium of the area.<br />

PRIMARY CROPS<br />

Primary crops grown at Rancho El Petacal include lemons, red grapefruit, mandarin oranges,<br />

watercress, parsley, spinach, garlic, and alfalfa. As with all <strong>NUTRILITE</strong> farms, organic farming practices<br />

help to ensure that the phytonutrients in the crops are at their uppermost protective levels. Below, you’ll<br />

see the primary phytonutrient each crop is known for, as well as the health benefits they provide.<br />
